KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440137
Restore firm, controlled damping to the rear of your car with the KYB Gas-a-just shock absorber, part number 553390. This high-pressure monotube gas shock drops in as a rear replacement for the 2010-2013 Mazda 3, with components and valving designed specifically for the Mazda 3 MazdaSpeed. Available as an OE monotube replacement, it's built to restore your vehicle's original capabilities.
The Gas-a-just runs two separate working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, and a second high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.
This KYB gas shock absorber fits the 2010-2013 Mazda 3. To reduce noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new shock mount components (SM5619) and protecting the rod with a KYB Strut Boot (SB125).

What vehicles does the KYB 553390 shock absorber fit?
It's a rear replacement for the 2010-2013 Mazda 3, with components and valving designed specifically for the Mazda 3 MazdaSpeed.
Is this a gas shock absorber?
Yes—it's a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube design that separates the nitrogen gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
How is the Gas-a-just different from an OE shock?
It's built to add up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks, and its higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response.
Should I replace both rear shocks at once?
Replacing shocks as an axle pair helps keep damping balanced side to side. KYB also recommends installing new shock mount components, part number SM5619.
Does this shock include a boot?
No—KYB recommends protecting the piston rod from dirt, debris and salt with a separate KYB Strut Boot, part number SB125.
